Peer reviewedRobinson, Paul J.; Wood, Keith – Omega: Journal of Death and Dying, 1985
Examined the effects of actualization and integration on death anxiety in 120 students who completed the Threat Index, Collett-Lester Fear of Death Scale, and Templer Death Anxiety Scale. Results provided clear evidence that actualization and integration have an additive effect on death fear and anxiety. (JAC)

Wood, Keith; Robinson, Paul J. – Essence: Issues in the Study of Ageing, Dying, and Death, 1982
Demonstrates that within a group of highly actualized individuals, the degree to which "own death" is integrated into constructs of self is a far more powerful predictor of fear of death than actualization. Findings suggest that actualization and integration are independent in their overall effect on fear of death. (Author)
